New Florida record

[deathb4disco]

Saw the same pix last year. It's fake.

Yep. This was posted in the last hour on the Facebook page where the story originated:

So if you didn't listen to the show yesterday well, someone gave BooDreaux a fake story about a STATE RECORD Crappie caught on Lake Toho that was being kept alive and released....

I've been shown that same picture 2 different times the last couple of days and it was caught in different states each time. Got to love the net.

Congrats to the lucky angler.

funny but i thought the exact same thing ....that fish is traveling around for sure and growing ....it was in Missouri just yesterday at 4 lbs

Missouri board says it's real

Somebody obviously caught a really big crappie. The only thing in question was where it was caught.

What was fake was the phone call saying it was a new Florida record.

I too fell for the stunt that it was caught in Florida at East Toho, Kissimmee...........
Without totally checking it out - forwarded to several people saying it was a Florida Spec.
​Bummer..........

Anybody else confused? This like a big buck tale floating around from camp to camp.

Ok guys, sorry about the fake story and not doing due diligence in checking it out. This one looks like the real deal. Mid America Live: 4.08lbs crappie caught out of Missouri farm pond Here is another story with the same guy in it at the same location. The Concordian: Local News: Entries double for annual cook-off (04/09/14) Another point is that the 2 pics posted are not the same fish. Upon close inspection the patterns are pretty different and the fish looks differently sized. Whoever Michael Roepe is, this dude is a catcher.

Grizz, the night Knightshadow and I were talking to the young man in the picture and his buddies he is fishing a private lake in Missouri. It has from what they told us produced several really large Crappie in that range for him and his father and uncles. It supposedly reproduces minnows that grow to the size of those large minnows like used in Florida for live bait bass fishing. And it grows them in abundance.
